You’re not cheap my man you’re just smart😂
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great weekend 😎👍
Great tip here! I didn’t know about that option. 👊😎✌️
Im glad you found something useful there! I’ve always loved finding out about ways to save on our projects!
Not a cheap bastard, you've got a kid and 2 foxbodies to build... it's called being smart Luis 😂 Happy Father's day to you and all the Dad's watching. Glad to see a video update on the coupe. If you visit Tony's mustangs and ford's UA-cam channel he just posted a video that BF GOODRICH now warranties radial TA tires when the letters turn brown.. you can get 4 new free tires bud!
Great video Luis!
I like the way you put it there, not cheap, but smart 😂! The tires that came on these wheels have definitely seen better days, I think the letters are still white but the threads are dry rotted, so Ill have to replace them! Luckily that’s not a problem since I have to find wheels that fit 😂
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 that coupe needs the 17 inch 10 holes.... those look sinister on a coupe
@@91MustangLX if only I could focus on one car mark 😂. It’s like I’ve got ADHD man, I jump from one project to another and get nothing done! Im already spending a bunch of money on the T-top 😂
@MrBlitzkrieg1987 bro, I can barely focus on sweet leaf, I remember when I had 2.. it was even worse... adhd is no joke bro. I was offered a good deal on 5.0 SN95 but I need to finish sweet leaf first... but I have to admit after finding out my block was cracked, I've lost motivation
@@91MustangLX that’s exactly what happened to me with the Jeep I was working on a few years back! I was pumped up fixing it and the block ended up being cracked… legend has it that jeep is still sitting in my driveway!
Great. I just came across this video 3 days after I got that lmr kit.. I feel stupid now 🤦🏻♂️
Could've saved myself $150 bucks 🥹
I'm still going to the junkyard to find those projects 😜
Great fkn video bro 👌🏻
No worries brother, Ive bought that kit as well in the past, Im not even mad at the money I spent I honestly just like how clean the conversion looks doing it this way! I like the factory look 💯. If you work on Foxes you will likely run into another situation when you will be able to use it!
Best father's day gift! saved me a few bucks.
Im glad you found something useful in it! Happy Father’s Day
Great stuff!!! Cheap? Naw.... that's smarts!! Thank you. Now I need to look for one at the wrecking yard.
Certainly cheaper than the kits for sale, but my favorite thing about it is that you can’t even tell you did it afterwards 😎 thanks for watching!
I didn’t buy that adapter either. I just made a couple brake lines and that was it. The only mod I did was gut my factory proportioning valve I installed a plug in its place when I added the adjustable prop valve for the rear disc. Happy Father’s Day
Glad you saved on not buying that adapter! It honestly wouldn’t be a bad fix if they weren’t trying rip people off by making it so expensive. Everything related to fox bodies has ben inflated!
The ford tax is real. Shits getting ridiculous on some stuff though.
Excellent video Brother!! Great tips and demonstration!! Nothing wrong with saving money! Much respect to you!! Hope you had a great weekend! 💯👊🏾👊🏾
Thanks! I feel the same way that you do, working on Foxbody Mustangs use to be a lot cheaper and saving money on whatever I can is the only way I can keep this hobby going!
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 Are you 100% on using the sn95 prop. Valve spring? I’ve read to use the fox prop. Spring with the sn95 fitting?!
Been doing this for years... You dont have to swap springs. All that spring does is hold pressure on the shuttle valve. The shuttle valves only purpose is to cut off pressure to a line if it blows in the front of car. So if you blow a front brake line, that spring will push valve over and keep rear brakes working without going dry. And the stock spring is more than adequate enough in fox prop valve.
Oh definitely, if anyone deserves credit for this mod its the Ford engineers, I learned this from someone else long ago, like Im sure you did, Im just passing on the knowledge. On that same note, it was the Ford engineers that swapped the spring on an otherwise identical proportioning valve… so if they went through the trouble and since im running the exact same brake setup and it takes literally no effort to change it, Im going for it. Not doubting that you have made it work without the spring.
Thank You for the excellent and invaluable information that saves money 👍. Keep doing what You are doing , Best Wishes 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment! I really appreciate it and it makes everything worth it!
Nice job
Thanks this is honestly the old school way of doing it, and better in my opinion too 😎👍
Great info!
I appreciate you watching and commenting! Thank you 👍
Thanks for sharing this. I now know what I have to do when I run into this, Because I will lol
Thank you for watching Mr Mach 1, I can’t wait to see what is next for the fairmont you’re putting together 🫡
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I can wait myself...lol But It will be good.
Im sure it will, every video you put out is awesome 😎
Thank you Bro.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
Great info MrBlitzkrieg1987
Thank you! Sometimes the old school way of doing things is the best!
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 yes it is
Ok, but new brake lines with the correct fitting ends to adapt to the different threads are also available inexpensively. Could have just replaced the line OR just the one fitting itself if you would have had a flaring tool. Cause really never a good idea to work on brake lines without having some way to flare if, and when, a 30+ year old fitting is rusted to the line or the fitting is stuck. You'll need one eventually no matter what old car you work on.
Its definitely a good idea to replace the lines… I live in California so the brake lines here usually do not rust, but in either situation replacing them is good! 👍
Really enjoyed the video thanks for the information, was wondering if there’s any reason you swapped the port and spring from the sn95 valve body to the fox valve body instead of just bolting the Sn95 one one, they looked identical in the video, does the Sn95 valve not bolt up directly or is it plummed different internally? Just curious because I don’t know how old my proportioning valve is and I’m thinking I might just buy the sn95 valve off Amazon and put the whole unit on the car.
Hi! Yea, you can simply bolt on the sn95 one instead, I just did it that way to show people who don’t have the complete proportioning valve, that you can add the fitting to the stock valve. Both valves are practically identical. Also sometimes unbolting the brake lines off the original valve is a real pain and it is easier to just add the fitting! But you can 💯 do it the way you are saying.
Ain't nothing wrong with being cheap when chit works...
I like the way you think sir! 👌
Are you 100% on using the sn95 prop. Valve spring? I’ve read to use the fox prop. Spring with the sn95 fitting?!
Hey, to be honest the springs look very similar with the exception of them being a different length… the reason I personally went with the sn95 is because I am also running the sn95 front calipers… the fitting and line that you are adding with this mod goes straight to driver side caliper so I wanted it to work exactly like it does on the sn95. I can’t guarantee that it will work the same with any other setup.
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987thank you for the reply. I am using stock front calipers with rear disc. Think I’m gonna try with the stock fox spring and see how it is. Have you actually drove with your setup yet? If so how are the brakes?
@@MM-fu4mb yes, I’ve used the sn95 spring several times before and it worked well, the person I first learned this from was the one who recommended the spring swap and I’ve been doing it this way ever since… but even if you made a mistake and used the wrong spring by accident, it’s not hard to go in there after and swap the spring, you can try both and see if it even makes a difference. Please let me know after you do in case you try both.
Which lines did you use to connect the MC to the proportioning valve?
They’re the stock lines that came with the Fox, I ended up stretching and bending them by hand… took a few tries.
The main problem was that after putting the cobra booster on the MC sits further forward… so you need to bend them, but i think they do sell a kit
Awesome. Picked up the fitting and spring from local junk yard for free!
@@shawnspeer1304 it doesn’t get better than free 💪😆
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987went get started and found out a previous owner had swapped in a totally different proportioning valve. I was lucky enough to find one at a local junkyard for $25. Thanks again for all the info.
What brake booster are you using and master cylinder?
1993 Cobra booster and master cylinder, I have a video about installing the booster on the car, its kinda tricky!
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 thanks man i just subscribed I’ll watch it
@@josephmiele3745 i appreciate you brother! Thank you 🙏
Is this when using rear drums or swapping to disks?
You need to do this when you use a larger brake master cylinder from an SN95 or cobra, because those only have 2 ports! But yes people usually only replace the master cylinder when upgrading to rear disk brakes
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987I have factory drums in back and sn95 calipers up front, I'm trying to see if this will fix my soft brake pedal, if you have any information on that
@@jasonb8346I’m sure you could use the larger two port Master Cylinder with rear drums, you may be able to do the same modification you saw here because the line that I added hooks up to the driver side caliper so it doesn’t change anything going towards the rear. In case you start getting too much brake pressure to the rear drums you can always gut the factory proportioning valve and install the adjustable ford racing one to regulate the fluid pressure going towards the drums.
Terrific information my friend thanks
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it
